We arrived at battle and the site was very full so we had to site on a pitch we wouldn't have chosen, some of the pitches are dark as they are overshadowed by the trees, which are lovely, but make some pitches a lot nicer than others. We were able to move the next day but that means not fully setting up on arrival and gave us not the best start to our holiday or the best of first impressions. We have stayed on full sites before that have maintained their feeling of space, Battle felt claustrophobic. We probably wouldn't stay here again.
